Abstract

The thin film disk includes a pre-seed layer of amorphous or nanocrystalline structure which may be AlTi or Alta, and that is deposited upon a disk substrate. The pre-seed layer is followed by the RuAl seed layer, a Cr alloy underlayer, an onset layer composed essentially of CoCr and a magnetic layer. The magnetic layer is comprised of CoPtxCrBy, wherein x is the at. % concentration of Pt, y is the at. % concentration of boron, and x>4+y.
